So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Qingyang Hall.

Mu Zhian walked into the main hall and saw a huge competition stage.

Not far from the competition stage, there is a teahouse. Next to the teahouse is a clear lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with an excellent view.

At this moment, there are many disciples discussing on the stage, and there are also monks discussing Taoism in the teahouse.

Mu Zhian looked leisurely at the sect disciples who were sparring on the stage. Many sect disciples present noticed the presence of the two of them and couldn't help but look over.

In response to this, Mu Zhian smiled every time.

When it comes to communicating with the outside world, Mu Zhian has always adhered to the principle of making friends with others if they can, and at least not offending others if they can't.

Of course, if the other party came to him on his own, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two slightly familiar eyes in the crowd looking here. Mu Zhian looked in the direction of those two eyes.

Ye Lingxuan, and her sister Ye Qian beside her.

Both of them were a little shy when they were outside. Ye Lingxuan just smiled reservedly, while Ye Qian called out "Brother Mu" softly.

How could they be in this area... Mu Zhian thought about it and smiled at the two of them.

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian are currently in the Qi Training Realm, and this is basically a place for disciples of the God Refining Realm to spar. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be here.

"Lingxuan, and Qian'er, why are you here?" Mu Zhian looked at the two walking figures and couldn't help but reveal a kind and gentle smile.

Ye Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Zhian secretly, and whispered: "Sister said that if brother Mu came to Qingyang Hall today, he would be here, so he brought me here."

Sure enough, it was Lingxuan's idea... Mu Zhian subconsciously looked at Ye Lingxuan, but saw the girl smiling and said: "After all, Brother Mu and Sister Ruoxi are both in the God Refining Realm now, so I want to verify myself speculation."

"It turns out I was not wrong,"

Ye Lingxuan's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally directed at this beauty in palace attire who had the aura of a cold young lady, and continued: "Brother Mu is indeed here with sister Ruoxi."

At the end of the sentence, Ye Lingxuan's smile when she looked at Bai Ruoxi seemed to be a little more profound.

But Bai Ruoxi's expression remained as usual. She stared at Ye Lingxuan tenderly and said, "Speaking of which, Mu Lang has to go to the Law Enforcement Hall later? If you don't mind, leave sisters Lingxuan and Qian'er to me today. I will take care of them." They were hanging around Qingyang Hall."

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian, who was standing aside, as if asking for his opinion, with the posture of a well-behaved and gentle young lady.

"Brother Mu, why are you going to the Law Enforcement Hall so well?" Ye Qian couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that someone went through the tribulation in Tianxuan City two days ago?" Ye Lingxuan asked.

When she went to Daofeng two days ago, she happened to hear Daofeng's senior sister mention that in Tianxuan City not far from the foot of Liangyi Sect Mountain, there seemed to be a monk who had returned to the void through spiritual refinement and entered the realm of land gods.

The Mu family used to have a great business in Tianxuan City. It would be better if the members of the Mu family were promoted and returned to the void. But if other family forces... the situation in Tianxuan City would be completely changed.

A monk who has returned to the Void Realm can control the wind and rain anywhere in Jiuzhou.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and praised sincerely: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Sister Lingxuan."

Ye Lingxuan smiled sweetly and said: "It's just the most basic speculation. I think Brother Mu's character will definitely want to go back to Tianxuan City."

Speaking of this, her voice suddenly changed and continued: "Brother Mu is now a disciple of the Liangyi Sect. If the family that is promoted to return to the void this time is not the Mu family... the other party may not dare to attack you, but Brother Mu will also definitely Remember not to take the initiative, as this will give them a reason to fight back.”

When people from the outside see the disciples of the Liang Yi Sect, they will look at them with respect.

Also because they are afraid of being retaliated by the Liang Yi Sect, few people will take the initiative to attack the disciples of the Liang Yi Sect.

But once the person who takes the initiative is the disciples of the sect, when the other party strikes back... even the Liangyi Sect will have nothing to say.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think I am the kind of impulsive person?"

Ye Lingxuan stared at Mu Zhian and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like that."

"However," she paused and continued: "Brother Mu is still very impulsive sometimes when it comes to emotions."

For example, in the first two nights, if she hadn't stopped Mu Zhian, Mu Zhian would have stayed in her room that night... What would have happened after that, it's not difficult to guess just by imagining it.

When Bai Ruoxi heard this, she also glanced at Mu Zhian faintly and said, "Mr. Mu is indeed very impulsive when it comes to emotions."

That's not called impulsive, it's just a simple LSP attack... Mu Zhian noticed that the two men were staring at him dimly, and he used a smile to cover up his embarrassment.

Although I hope that the three girls can live in harmony, living in harmony does not mean that they have to deal with me together...

Of course, if you treat him together while sleeping at night, he actually doesn't mind very much.

Also, Ruoxi's attitude towards Lingxuan and Qian'er seemed to be quite friendly today... Mu Zhian looked at the gentle and pleasant Miss Bai beside him, then nodded and accepted Bai Ruoxi's inquiry, and said: " I'll go to the Law Enforcement Hall first, and I'll leave Qian'er and Lingxuan to you."

Bai Ruoxi smiled and nodded, watching Mu Zhian turn around and walk towards the depths of Qingyang Hall.

Behind him, Ye Qian looked at Mu Zhian's back with some worry, and suddenly whispered: "Is Brother Mu going to be okay?"

In the past two days, she had always felt like a storm was coming, and this feeling started when someone in Tianxuan City entered the Return to the Void Realm that day.

Mu Zhian knew several chiefs in Liangyi Sect, but this did not mean that he could ask several chiefs to help him solve his troubles.

Part of the reason why the Liang Yi Sect has such a sacred status in Dongzhou is because the Liang Yi Sect never intervenes in disputes between the forces in Dongzhou, unless it involves the murder of a disciple or the discovery of a demon cultivator.

In other cases, they will not take action.

Mu Zhian would not let them break this precedent.

And based on her understanding of Mu Zhian, Mu Zhian is not the kind of person who would make things difficult for several leaders and force them to help.

"Don't worry, Brother Mu is now a disciple of Liangyi Sect. As long as he is still in Liangyi Sect, no one in Dongzhou will dare to attack him openly." Ye Lingxuan comforted his sister.

Ye Qian still had a worried look on his face, and said softly: "But what if, as my sister just said, someone is planning to force Brother Mu to take action?"

Once it becomes a situation where Mu Zhian takes the initiative, the other party will have reason to say that he has no choice but to take action to protect himself.

"No, he is very sensible." Ye Lingxuan comforted her sister softly.

She stared at the calm lake and continued: "If Brother Mu really encounters any danger... there is no need for that family to exist."

Bai Ruoxi also stared at the lake, but she never spoke.

Give her another half year, and after she refines the spirit and returns to the void, she will have a place in the entire East Continent.

At that time, you can truly protect the people around you.

Ye Qian looked at this scene and clenched his fists slightly, secretly making up his mind to practice hard.

Today's Ye Qian is no longer what she used to be. She has received the Qing Emperor's inheritance, and her future achievements will definitely be high.

The real protagonists are already growing up.

If Mu Zhian heard the conversation of several people here at this moment, I think he would be quite pleased.

However, Mu Zhian naturally did not know what was happening in Qingyang Palace at this moment. After he walked along a straight and deep path for a while, what came into view was the entrance to a cave.

This cave was built by the master of the Law Enforcement Hall himself. Within the sect, the Law Enforcement Hall has a very high status and is not affiliated with any main peak.

Within the Liangyi Sect, the only two neutral forces are the Law Enforcement Hall and the Library Pavilion.

Just as Mu Zhian was about to walk into the cave, he was immediately stopped by a disciple at the door.

"Who are you?" The male disciple looked at Mu Zhian with an indifferent expression.

"Disciple Mu Zhian, I plan to find time to go down the mountain in the next two days, so I came to the Law Enforcement Hall to apply for this matter. I would like to ask this senior brother to go in and report it." Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

It is usually not difficult for sect disciples to go down the mountain, but if they want to go out for a long time, they must explain it to the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall.

When Mu Zhian went to Tianxuan City a few days ago, he planned to go back immediately, so naturally he didn't need to explain the matter to the people at the Law Enforcement Hall.

But if you plan to leave the sect for more than three days, it will be different.

This time Mu Zhian came to Qingyang Hall, firstly to see the strength of these genius disciples, and secondly, to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to explain his descent from the mountain.

"Are you Mu Zhian..." The senior brother's eyes softened a little. It was obvious that he had heard a lot about Mu Zhian in the sect these days.

"Brother Pastor, please wait outside. I am reporting this to Master."

After saying that, he walked into the cave.

After a while, he returned to the front of the cave and said, "You can go in."

"Thank you, senior brother." Mu Zhian said, clasping his fists again.

Then, he stepped into this cave.

The cave seems small, but once you step inside, what comes into view is a completely different scene.

A magnificent hall was located in the field of vision. Mu Zhian strode towards the hall. Along the way, he saw many bulletin boards with various tokens hanging on them.

This is a sect task. After completing the corresponding sect task, you will get the sect's contribution value.

In Liangyi Sect, the value of contribution points is far greater than that of spirit stones.

Some of the elixirs or medicinal materials that can be bought with contribution points cannot be bought with spiritual stones. Even if they can be bought, they are usually at sky-high prices.

Therefore, the sect's contribution is extremely valuable within the Liangyi Sect.

Mu Zhian was about to step into the hall, when he happened to see a monk also wearing gorgeous robes walking out.

The man didn't look handsome, but he had a pretty good temperament. His lips were thin, his eyebrows were unruly, and his triangular eyes looked particularly gloomy.

You can tell at a glance that this is a minor villain, and he is the character who used to be used as a stepping stone for ‘Ye Yu’ to slap him in the face.

"Master Gongsun, what's such a coincidence? Why did you come to the Law Enforcement Hall today?" Mu Zhian took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

Seeing that Gongsun Cheng didn't pay attention at all, Mu Zhian continued to laugh and said, "Could it be that something has happened?"

Gongsun Cheng snorted coldly: "Young Master Mu and I are different. We are just here to perform certain sect tasks."

After that, he ignored Mu Zhian and just strode out of the law enforcement hall.

Mu Zhian stopped talking, but his eyes fell on the sect token in Gongsun Cheng's hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

If it were normal, Mu Zhian would not care about what Gongsun Cheng did.

But the other party came to the Law Enforcement Hall to apply for going down the mountain at this time... Obviously, Gongsun Cheng was not just going down the mountain for a day or two.

That's worth pondering.

Mu Zhian quietly retracted his sight and walked into the Law Enforcement Hall.

...

Tianxuan City.

Gongsun Family.

Gongsun Xiong sat cross-legged in front of the table and slowly opened his eyes. After the breath adjustment just now, the turbid eyes were finally suppressed.

The Tongmai Pill that Bai Yuanfeng sent him at the beginning was indeed problematic... Gongsun Xiong's face was extremely gloomy.

No wonder, since taking the Tongmai Pill that Bai Yuanfeng gave him at the beginning, his health has been getting worse day by day.

At first, he did not suspect Tongmai Pills. It was not until a few days ago when he was lucky enough to get guidance from an expert and broke through the peak of the soul refining realm that he finally realized that the abnormality in his body was caused by Tongmai Pills.

Bai Yuanfeng had never betrayed the Bai family from the beginning, but had coveted the territory of the Gongsun family from a long time ago... Tongmai Pills were the first step to occupy the territory of the Gongsun family.

If it were not for the influence of Tongmai Pills, with his current strength in the Return to Void Realm, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to want to annex the entire Tianxuan City?

When thinking of this, Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but hate the vicious woman of the Bai family a little more.

However, it doesn't matter.

In a few days, when the disordered meridians in the body are completely stabilized, the Bai family can be completely suppressed in a moment!

Gongsun Xiong looked up at the attendant in front of him and said in a deep voice: "What did the people from the Dawn Chamber of Commerce and the Bai family answer?"

The attendant standing in front of Gongsun Xiong was respectful and said carefully: "I didn't see Mr. Huang when I went to the Dawn Chamber of Commerce today. As for the Bai family..."

The attendant paused and said: "I was driven out before I could see the head of the Bai clan."

Gongsun Xiong smiled, his eyes indifferent, and said lightly: "Mr. Huang is very smart. It's normal that he doesn't want to stand on the side easily. Merchants pursue profits. He is not a big threat to me."

"But the Bai family... Do you think they can be safe and sound after being blessed by the Mu family?"

Gongsun Xiong stared at the attendant and said: "Send someone to the Mu family to invite the guest of the Mu family."

The guest of the Mu family is Ren Gao, one of the few three alchemists in Tianxuan City.

The attendant hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if we invite the guest of the Mu family for no reason, they probably won't go with us..."

"For no reason?" Gongsun Xiong shook his head and smiled, "The Bai family secretly harbors a demon cultivator, and the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Zhian, has a close relationship with the daughter of the demon cultivator. How can the Mu family escape responsibility?"

After a brief hesitation, the attendant was horrified and stared at the burly Gongsun clan leader in front of him with fear, and finally realized something.

"Master, are you going to attack the Mu family...?"

"What do you mean by attack?"

Gongsun Xiong frowned slightly and smiled faintly: "This is Dongzhou. Don't you know what the crime of harboring a demon cultivator is?"

"After today, I will return Tianxuan City to a clear and bright world!"

The attendant hesitated and said: "What if the Mu family stops us when we go to invite Mr. Ren?"

Gongsun Xiong shook his head and said firmly: "They won't stop us."

Tianxuan City is too close to Liangyi Sect. Once Bai Yuanfeng's identity as a demon cultivator is proven, the Mu family will also be implicated.

In the past, the Gongsun family stood on Mu Zhian's side because of the general trend. Now that he has returned to the Void Realm, there is no need to play the game of dividing the world into four parts with other families.

The game of dividing the world into four parts in Tianxuan City should end here.

...

That afternoon, Mu Zhian applied for the procedures to go down the mountain, and also booked a trip to the restricted area a month later.

As soon as he returned to Tianhe Garden, Mu Zhian noticed a cold gaze staring at him.

"Sister Mengrou, aren't you meditating? Why are you here?" Mu Zhian looked at the maid standing quietly at the door of Tianhe Garden with some surprise.

Wei Mengrou did not answer, but stared at Mu Zhian and said, "Are you planning to return to Tianxuan City?"

"We need to go back to confirm. If the person who is promoted to the Return to Void Realm is really from the Gongsun family, we have to think of a way." Mu Zhian said.

Although he himself felt that the probability was not very high.

After all, Gongsun Xiong probably did not notice that there was something wrong with the Tongmai Pills given by Bai Yuanfeng. Once Gongsun Xiong swallowed the Tongmai Pills, his spiritual energy would flow backwards. How could he be promoted to the Return to Void Realm?

Just as he thought of this, he saw a paper crane floating beside him.

Two days ago, Mu Zhian borrowed a paper crane from Lan Mulian and wrote a letter to the Mu family. Now it seems that someone in the family should have replied.

Under Wei Mengrou's gaze, Mu Zhian slowly unwrapped the paper crane.

At the same time, the contents of the paper crane also appeared in his field of vision.

There was only one sentence on it: Gongsun Xiong was promoted to the Return to Void Realm.

Mu Zhian stared at the sentence on the letter paper. Wei Mengrou, who was standing beside him, also saw the contents of the letter paper. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered:

"If the person who was promoted to the Return to Void Realm was Gongsun Xiong, there would be no point in you going back."

The strength of returning to the void and refining the spirit is completely different. The reason why the returning to the void realm is called the immortal on the land is because it is too rare.

Although there seem to be many leaders and elders in the returning to the void realm in the Liangyi Sect, in fact, in most places in Jiuzhou, it is difficult to see cultivators in the returning to the void realm.

Mu Zhian silently put the paper crane into the ring and sighed: "My return to Tianxuan City may not be useful, but..."

He paused, raised his head and stared in the direction of Canghai Peak.

"Spread the news of my return, it will be very useful."
